ABC: ‘Reliably Conservative’ Kavanaugh Sends ‘Shivers’ Down Spines of Liberals

[See NewsBusters for more.] Hours after preemptively deriding an unnamed Supreme Court nominee as “controversial,” ABC’s Nightline on Monday night worried about the “reliably conservative” Brett Kavanaugh and the vacancy that is sending “shivers” down the spines of liberals. The ideological labels appeared as Terry Moran informed viewers of the “solidly conservative choice.” Later, he underlined: “Kavanaugh has been reliably conservative throughout most of his career dating back to 1989 when he was a student writing for the Yale Law Journal.” (“Reliably liberal” is not a term often used by journalists when Democrats have a Supreme Court pick.)
